Warpstock 99

The 3rd annual Warpstock show and celebration will be held 
in Atlanta, GA on October 16th and 17th, 1999 and 
V.O.I.C.E. (Virtual OS/2 International Consumer Eduaction) 
will again be present.

The 1998 show in Chicago was the 1st Warpstock Event that 
V.O.I.C.E. was involved in (as a group) and, frankly, we 
all had a blast. To show our support for this premier 
event, V.O.I.C.E. arranged for show discounts on Power 
Boot, the Boot Manager alternative, and we gave away 2 
passes and 1 night in the hotel in a drawing held in a
V.O.I.C.E. meeting in IRC.

This year, we are taking steps to further involve 
V.O.I.C.E. as an active supporter of Warpstock.

The Event Location announcement was made during a special 
V.O.I.C.E. Speakup in IRC back in March.

V.O.I.C.E. has already purchased an exhibition booth that 
comes with 2 passes, and 2 tickets to the Saturday evening 
Social Event "OS/2 Has Not Left The Building". One of these 
passes and party tickets will be given away in a drawing, 
along with 1 night in the Sheraton Gateway hotel during a 
special Speakup event to be held in July (You must be a 
V.O.I.C.E. member to be eligible for the drawing). The
second pass and party ticket is reserved for another 
project.

Thanks to Timothy Sipples and IBM, V.O.I.C.E. will donate 1 
copy of OS/2 Warp Server for e-Business to Warpstock to be 
used by the event committee in setting up the Warpstock 
Network Server at this and future Warpstock events.

V.O.I.C.E. has already announced a donation of $500.00 to 
Warpstock to be used for the Saturday evening party. It is 
our hope that this donation will help to offset the costs 
of the party and dinner, and free up funds that the 
Warpstock committee can put to use elsewhere in the event 
budget.

Now, here's where someone else can join with V.O.I.C.E. and 
show their support for Warpstock.

The "V.O.I.C.E./Warpstock Challenge"

We don't want to be the only OS/2 User Group supporting 
Warpstock. Warpstock is an event for ALL OS/2 users to come 
together to talk about and learn about OS/2 and OS/2 
applications. So here's your chance to show your support 
for your favorite Operating System and the people who 
support it and develop for it.

We'd like to see at least one more group donate $500.00 to 
Warpstock to be used for the Saturday evening party. That 
would make a $1000.00 donation to help offset the cost of 
the social event, and free up $1000.00 to be used elsewhere 
in the Warpstock 99 Budget. Think of what that $1000.00 
could be used for. Off the top of my head, I can envision a 
better and faster connection to the Internet for all
exhibitors to make use of.

But wait .... it gets better!

If one more group will donate $500.00, V.O.I.C.E. will 
match that donation. That's a total of $1500.00 donated to 
Warpstock to help fund the Social Event. ANd a total of 
$1500.00 in the Warpstock Budget that can be used on 
something other than a party.

Please, join V.O.I.C.E. in co-sponsoring this event.

If you are interested in joining us, please e-mail me (Dan 
Casey) at:

Anyone in attendance last year, in Chicago, can attest to 
how much fun we all had. Anyone who missed it, well all I 
can say is "Don't miss this one"!
